Publication number: 20120023015Abstract: Improved techniques are disclosed for payment of accrued moneys via a third party intermediary. In one embodiment, a consolidated royalty can be provided for online sales of digital assets of a digital asset provider. Since the online sales can be from various different countries, the online sales can be in a plurality of different currencies. The royalties due a digital asset provider from online sales in the different currencies can be consolidated at appropriate times into a single currency and then disbursed to the digital asset provider. In another embodiment, royalty disbursement management can be provided to alert a digital asset provider that an attempted distribution has failed and to facilitate the digital asset provider in correcting appropriate banking information to assist in obviating the distribution failure.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2010Publication date: January 26, 2012Inventors: Aji Mathai, Amy Shih, Eric John Gray, Sean K. Smith, John Baily, Aloke Bhatnagar, Ricardo D. Cortes
